New Dell 5150 and 6800gt

[TantrumusMaximus]

I just recently bought a 5150 + 20" LCD deal from Dell that floated around the Hot Deals forum here and I upgraded the power supply as suggested to a OCZ 450W that fit in the unit and everytime I fire up World of Warcraft within 5 minutes I lose video signal. The monitor led goes amber... and the PC is still on. I can not ping it from another box.

Only thing I haven't done is blow away the Dell OS (I was lazy).

Anyone buy one of these and toss a card in without any problems?

Why did you upgrade the PSU? Dell PSU's are nice.

Don't you have to upgrade for the 6800gt because the stock PSU is only 250 or 300w and the recs for the video card are at least 350?

It's something about Dell PSU's being rated conservatively and reqs being measured liberally (safe buffer) so that in the end it works fine. According to other buyers anyways.
